Monthly Archives: February 2012

I think from this day forward I’m going to take February 12th as a day to reflect on the history of women in computer science and software development. This is on account of the coincidence that a dear friend (and classmate from Concordia) of mine shares today as her birthday with Kathleen Antonelli. ‘Kay’ Antonelli was one of the first programmers of ENIAC… which was the first electronic computer so I assume that means she’s one of the first programmers in general.

As a matter of fact, the first programmers of the ENIAC were all women.
